http://eveditor.com/blog/2014/05/09/eveditor-1-5-windows-path-editor-released/#respondFri, 09 May 2014 18:25:26 +0000http://eveditor.com/?p=506The most significant change in Environment variables editor 1.5 is standalone editors for both System PATH and User PATH variables. There you can easily add a new directory to the PATH, change the order of PATH fragments, format it, even reset the value of the variable to its default one. The application automatically highlights any wrong PATH fragments, so you can remove them.

So starting from this version, there will be 2 PATH variable editors: for System and for User ones. Their functionality will be equal except that User PATH editor doesn’t have “Default value” button and there is no such value and initially User PATH variable is empty.

P.S.
This is beta version, don’t forget to backup your PATH variable before playing with the editor.

Just open the Path editor tab, select the desired entry or even bunch of them and take them to a better place with “↑ Move up” or “↓ Move down” buttons.

In case you are a keyboard lover (as I am), you are more than welcome to use Alt + ↑ and Alt + ↓.

P.S.
Again, it is in beta stage, don’t forget to backup your PATH variable before playing with the editor.

So in case you messed up the PATH and want to start from scratch, this would be a right way to go.

Windows environment variables editor 1.5 beta 3 now validates each %PATH% variable fragment and highlights the faulty ones. A fragment can represent a directory or another environment variable. In latter case it will be expanded prior to validation.

P.S.
Again, it is in beta stage, don’t forget to backup your PATH variable before playing with the editor.

http://eveditor.com/blog/2014/01/12/easily-add-directories-path-eveditor-1-5-0-beta-2/#respondSun, 12 Jan 2014 01:17:02 +0000http://eveditor.com/?p=405Beta 2 of the upcoming Eveditor 1.5.0 is ready for download. It contains a bunch of fixes and new button in PATH editor that allows to easily select and add a directory to Windows PATH variable.

In Control Panel Category view, you may directly access the tasks of managing User or System environment variables.

In addition, we’ve updated icons used in the application with high quality ones provided by Windows, so now we expect them to scale pretty good. For example, here is a screenshot of Eveditor running on Windows 8 with 2880x1800px resolution with 200% scale. And yes, the icons are getting better with every new version of Windows!

http://eveditor.com/blog/2013/05/02/eveditor-1-3-final-is-out/#respondThu, 02 May 2013 13:11:46 +0000http://eveditor.com/?p=356Today we are sharing the new version of Eveditor with everyone.
The change list for 1.3 version was described in the previous post. However, there is one minor addition:

In earlier versions we used the same yellow lock icon for 2 categories of variables: for protected ones (unless you are under Administrator account) and for those, that are automatically populated by OS (so no one could change them).
Starting from version 1.3 we use different icons for those 2 categories of variables:

Now yellow lock icon shows that the corresponding variable is protected and can’t be edited in any case. Such variables are not stored in windows registry, they are created by OS and placed right in Explorer.exe process space.
Shield icon indicates that the variable requires administrator privileges.

Whilst the second one is not visible to end-user and is under-the-hood work, the first feature provides the ability to include other environment variables inside your own ones. For example, if you declare

MyFolder = %SystemDrive%\MyFolder

then MyFolder variable will be automatically expanded to:

C:\MyFolder path (presuming that OS is installed on C: drive).

The same way any environment variable can be used inside another. Eveditor will automatically expand any variable and display the resulting value.
